Forever Us

Chapter Ten

As I enter the office building; I am surrounded by white. The floors are white the walls are white. I look down at my red pencil dress with my black heels on. My black purse on my shoulder. Wow. I think to myself. I walk over to the main desk where a man sits, he has blonde hair wearing a blue shirt and jeans.

"Hi, I have an appointment with Lillian Brooker." I tell him.

"Okay." He smiles and looks up at me. His smile gets bigger, I look at his face, he has a newly grown beard, a small silver earring in his left ear. His eyes are literally sparkling blue. "What, what's your name?" He asks.

"Sara Matthews." I tell him.

"I will let her know you're here." He smiles.

"Thank you." I look at him waiting for him to introduce himself to me.

"Todd Jensen." He tells me.

I smile and walk awayto the chair in the lobby just waiting. As I look through my text messages from Ashlynn and Hadin I lock my phone and sit it in my hands in my lap.  

Buzz

I look back down at my phone to see I got a Facebook Friend request. I open up the request to see it's from Daryl Daily. My heart starts pounding a million times faster then it already was. What is Connor's brother doing asking me for a friend request. Obviously I'm not accepting that. It could just be Connor on a fake account. 

"Miss Matthews?" A voice cuts into my panic. I look up to see another man standing in front of me wearing a blue suit with brown hair parted to the side. He oddly enough reminds me of Matt Boomer from White Collar. "Mrs Brooker will see you now." He tells me. I smile and get up tossing my phone into my white purse trying my hardest to forget about the request. I follow the man through the glass double doors to the left of Todd. As he pushes them open he leads me down the long hallway and to the right when we come to a large white door with a silver bar as a handle. "Go on in." He smiles gesturing for me to open the door. I nod at him and open up the door. 

As I enter into the office of Lillian Brooker, it's nothing like the pure white atmosphere from office building I had just come from. This room has wood flooring, a white rug in the sitting area with two black leather sofas and a glass coffee table with stacks upon stacks of book manuscripts and movie screenplays I assume. I look over to see a blonde haired woman sitting at the black glass desk. She is wearing a red pencil dress. She looks up at me and smiles through her bright red lipstick. 

"Hi! You must be Sara Matthews." She states as she stands from her desk walking over extending her hand. I do the same shaking her hand. 

"Thank you for meeting with me." I thank her. 

"Not a problem. I've read a lot of stuff by you especially when you were located in New York. Those were amazing, well researched. " She tells me. 

"Thank you." I smile. 

"Come on let's sit and discuss why I asked for this meeting." she tells me as she leads us over to the sitting area. I sit across from her on one couch. "Would you like anything to drink? Water, Brandy, Vodka, sodas?" She asks me. 

"Water is good." i tell her as she hands me a Poland Springs water bottle. "Thank you." 

"So." She starts sitting down. "The reason I asked you to meet with me is because I want you on my team, weather it be an new coming author, editor or proof reader. I don't care I just want you. You English Lit Professor had amazing things to say about you." She tells me. "I am prepared to start pay at 17.90 an hour 40 hours a week if you want overtime you can get it anytime you would like. What do you say?" She asks me.
